La Liga is among the best footballing leagues in the world. Over the last decade, teams from La Liga have frequently challenged for European Competitions. Real Madrid has been the division's standout in Europe, having won an incredible five UEFA Champions League titles in the last ten years, taking their total to 14, which is double the tally of second place A.C. Milan.
Winning the Champions League requires the best players, who can provide that moment of magic. Due to the immense performances of the players on the field, EA has ensured that it is reflected in their ratings in FIFA 23. So, with that in mind, here are the ten highest-rated players from La Liga.
10 Vinicius Jr. (86)
In FIFA 22, Vinicius Jr. had a rating of 80, and not many players were expecting it to change, and certainly no one was expecting him to have a world-class season. In the last season, Vinicius Jr. was involved in 42 goals, which is a ridiculous return for a winger.
He also scored in the final to hand Real Madrid another Champions League title. EA could not overlook his performances, and they upped his rating to 86. Vinicius' general stats are quite high; he has 95 pace, 90 dribbling, and 79 shooting.
9 De Jong (87)
For the majority of the summer transfer window, De Jong's name was consistently in the news as it seemed that he would be making a switch to Manchester United. Due to Barcelona's financial turmoil, it looked increasingly possible that De Jong would be playing his football elsewhere.
However, he decided to stay and fight for his position. Under Xavi's tutelage, he will be hoping to become one of the best midfielders in the world. De Jong has a rating of 87, and his general stats include 87 dribbling, 86 passing, and 82 pace.
8 Rüdiger (87)
Rüdiger is the latest addition to Real Madrid's incredible squad. After another impressive campaign with Chelsea, Rüdiger decided not to renew his contract with the club and left to join Real Madrid in the summer of 2022.
Rüdiger is easily among the world's best defenders. He is a fast and aggressive defender with a great passing range that can help his team. Rüdiger boasts a rating of 87 in FIFA 23, and his highest stats are: 86 defending, 85 physicality, and 82 pace.
7 Ter Stegen (88)
At one point, Ter Stegen was constantly a part of the conversations regarding the best goalkeeper in the world. Sadly, he has suffered a sharp drop in his performances, and on several occasions, it has cost Barcelona games.
In FIFA 23, Ter Stegen's rating has decreased. Ter Stegen's new rating of 88 is not bad at all, and he still has very high stats, such as 90 reflexes, 87 kicking, and 86 diving.
6 Modric (88)
Luka Modric is a former Ballon d'Or winner and a five-time Champions League winner. In his first season for Real Madrid, Luka Modric was voted the worst signing of the season, but it is fair to say that seems like a thing of the distant past.
After winning every trophy with the club, Modric has cemented his place among the all-time greats. The frightening thing is that he has at least a few years left at the top. Modric has an overall rating of 88, and his best attributes are: 89 passing, 88 dribbling, and 76 shooting.
5 Kroos (88)
Ever since joining Real Madrid from Bayern Munich, Toni Kroos has been one of the best players in the world. Kroos is considered to be among the elite midfielders, and during his time with the Spanish club, he has already won five UEFA Champions League.
Kroos proved to be an integral part of the club yet again as he helped Real Madrid win the UEFA Champions League. Kroos has a rating of 88, and his stats include 90 passing, 81 shooting, and 81 dribbling.
4 Oblak (89)
Oblak has been an immense player for Atletico Madrid for several years, but he suffered a serious dip in form in the 21/22 season. Oblak conceded 43 goals in the league while keeping just 12 clean sheets. Only five goalkeepers had a worse record than him in the league, which speaks volumes about his performances.
Oblak's blip did not go unnoticed, as EA did decrease his rating. With a rating of 91, he was the highest-rated goalkeeper in FIFA 22, but in the latest edition of the game, Oblak has a rating of 89. His highest rated attributes are: 90 handling, 89 reflexes, and 87 positioning.
3 Courtois (90)
Many people had doubts about Courtois' transfer to Real Madrid, but it didn't take long for the Belgian to prove them wrong. Courtois' jaw-dropping performances helped Real Madrid to win the Champions League.
He broke the record for most saves made in a final and picked up the Man of the Match award as well. EA decided to increase his rating, and in FIFA 23, he is rated 90, making him the highest-rated goalkeeper along with Manuel Neuer of Bayern Munich. Courtois' stats include 90 reflexes, 89 positioning, and 89 handling.
2 Lewandowski (91)
Lewandowski is one of the best strikers of this generation. After shattering countless goalscoring records in the Bundesliga, he decided to make a switch. Lewandowski chose Barcelona as his next club.
Lewandowski has played six games in the league, and he has already played a part in 10 goals. Despite scoring 50 goals last season, Lewandowski's rating has been changed to 91, but he remains one of the best strikers in the game. His general stats are: 91 shooting, 86 dribbling, and 83 physicality.
1 Benzema (91)
Karim Benzema was undoubtedly the best player in the world last season. He spearheaded Real Madrid's title charge, and he also helped the club to win its 14th UEFA Champions League title. In the league, Benzema scored 27 goals and played a hand in a further 12 goals.
His record in the Champions League was equally impressive as he managed to rack up 15 goals and 2 assists in just 12 games.
With the FIFA World Cup coming up, Benzema will be hoping to add another illustrious trophy to his cabinet. Benzema's outstanding performances earned him a two-point increase and put him at the top with a rating of 91. Benzema's stats key are: 88 shooting, 87 dribbling, and 83 passing.
FIFA 23 is available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S|X, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
